Day 7

10 Oct. Well the Bean went wheels up today. I got to chat with her a couple times throughout the day. She left out of Freedom Hall on Ft Benning. She said it was an amazing place, huge, lots of TVs, easy chairs, and a very nice facility. She got some pictures so I’ll get to see it later. I missed her calls on her refueling stop at Bangor, Maine – thoroughly pissed me off. So stupid, I should have remembered she would have that stop there. To make matters worse, I think I just missed her by a matter of minutes. Got a couple voice mails from her so in some ways it may work out better to have messages I can replay while she’s gone. My first Friday night in a “NoBean” state – I don’t think it’s going to be a particularly good trend. I did do a little quality time at the gym after work today. Nice 6.5 miler at a good pace. Going to try again tomorrow and see if I can actually get back to running 5-6 times a week and maybe go for the P. F. Chang marathon again in January. Seems pretty unattainable at this junction, but stranger things have happened. The kitties seem to be having a rough time of it also. Max is whining like a big dog – always wanting pets and me to watch him eat. Beanie would sit with him while he ate and he really seemed to like it. I think he has a brain disorder. Moochie could care less as long as there is food, water, clean kitty box, and affection on her terms. Doing a little laundry tonight and “saving” the big cleaning for tomorrow. Yep, I know how to party!!!
